The music was written by Les Brown and Ben Homer, and the lyrics were written by Bud Green.<br \/>\nLes Brown and His Band of Renown had been performing the song, but were unable to record it because of the 1942\u00e2\u20ac\u201c44 musicians&#8217; strike. When the strike ended, the band, with Doris Day as vocalist, had a hit record with the song, Day&#8217;s first #1 hit, in 1945. The song&#8217;s release coincided with the end of WWII in Europe and became the unofficial homecoming theme for many veterans.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
